Nothing like a regional plane being hijacked in New Zealand.

1st Wife-1996 Egypt Air 767 over Sahara Desert (same 767 that ended up in the drink off of NY)
2nd Wife-2006 Philippine Airlines flight somewhere over the pacific.

Stinson, I think you miss the point on whom one should speak too. You don't start at the top with htese guys. You educate from the bottom. I don't think that you would strap a bomb to yourself for a whole bunch of reasons. The people that do buy the rhetoric that the fundamentalists sell are the one...

"Brave woman. Too bad it will fall onto deaf ears. " Corparate Joe, where did you get such a silly idea? As was mentioned in the second link, (at the time of reading) over 1 Million people have seen this video. It has even made it to an Aviation forum in Canada. If thats not proliferation of a story...

I've got a suit for rent. S. Surrey area. about 10 min to the airport.

PM me for details

I think there is one other factor in the 767's favour. Being lighter it can operate on smaller and therefore more airstrips than the larger A330. Airbus argues that the A330 can stay on station longer. That arguement can't hold up when the 767 can operate from strips closer to the action.

I think it's cool and almost have the agreeing to get one once the kiddies are moved out. I think we'll go a little bigger than the 27 though, 67 or bigger and set up the BBQ on the wing!!

Unless you're business class I don't think you'll find an outlet on most planes.

I Personslly believe that if you are going to use more than 1 seats worth of space, you should pay more. There is however 2 ways for airlines to fix this issue without crossing over the lines of PCness. 1) If you bring more than the allowable baggage, you're charged more, so instead of selling a sea...

I had all four and four cavities done at once. I remeber the dentist telling me when I sat in the chair that we (he) would do one half on my mouth today and the other half in a week. Not liking being in the chair, I told him, nope, do all 8 proceedures now. After he put his eyes back in his head, he...

Ok, I’ve had some time to cool off. What a mess! (edited for web) All the press and public at large seem to be focusing on if the last 30 seconds of a supposed 10 hour episode. So what do I think? Well, the night I saw the video I was fit to be tied. I saw three levels of Gov’t/Authorities fail. 1) ...

My car does the speed limit twice on every drive,
On the way up
and on the way down.

What's the definition of a Leopard?







A Cougar with age spots!!!

Quote"Their CFI is a British fellow who instructs at Pro IFR. Really knowledgeable bloke and a heck of a good pilot. "

He's had a bunch of crashes that I know about (one on the BBC) and he once worked for me. That ended up in court.

That's all I'll say.

How can it be wrong to laugh at that, if they are trying to make you laugh? cudos to them for being able to laugh at themselves, something that most people in life never manage to do. I'll second that. I found it both funny and insperational. Good on them for taking a life sentence in a body that w...

YES if someone is hooked to a respirator they are still alive! no they might not live if the machine was unhooked but that is murder or at least assisted suicide! Ahhh, but again you're making a legal case, and giving an opinion. My question was, Are you alive? I would say no. Living is the ability...

The biggest issue over this issue as has been raised is when does life begin. I look at it this way, and I am no proponent of abortion, but up until the 7th month a fetus cannot sustain life on its own. In a very real sense (ethics aside) it's tumour living off of it's host. Or to look at life on th...

So some trivia then
Whats the only word with a Double U in it?

The first time I saw it I was flying jumpseat with Malaysia Airlines in a 777. Had it on the windows for almost two hours. Was pretty cool to watch.

"BTW... while we're at it... What was it that caused AT to lose their rudder? Moisture ingress wasn't it?... and what exactly has changed since then? ...not much at all if I'm thinking right. " The cause was a sub contractor that was using an approved bonding agent. I believe about eight aircraft ha...

One has to look at several questions here. 1) The employee was fired, so he very well may have an "axe to grind" 2) Does?did the employee have access to all pertanent information? 3) Large companies have been known to play outside of the rules. 4) Large comapnies are interested in only one thing. Br...

A blonde gets on a plane and goes up to first-class. The flight attendant tells her that she will have to move back; her ticket is not for first class. The blond says, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, and I'm going to California." The main flight attendant is brought in and explains that she will have to...

A very good headset for the private pilot. I would not recomend any of the Lightspeed headsets for heavy commercial use though.

Just my 2 cents
